This is one of my favorite photographs of El Paso. This view taken from the Paisano Dr. overpass just west of El Paso Union Depot captures a sense of the city's diverse and dynamic rail activity, and also offers a glimpse into Mexico. In the foreground, a BNSF switch crew on board a dash-9 locomotive shoves in the clear to allow a southbound BNSF local to enter El Paso yard. In the background to the right, a westbound UP stack train passes on the "Sunset Route". Structures in the distant background and hillsides to the left of the frame are located in Mexico. Photographed March, 2002.
